President Trump has interviewed four prospective Supreme Court justices to replace the retiring Justice Anthony Kennedy, and has plans to speak with several others this week, according to multiple reports.

He plans to announce his nominee on July 9, and the choice is shaping up to be one of the most important in American judicial history, as a conservative judge could have a massive impact on abortion, gay marriage, and health care laws, among many other issues.

The focus will soon shift to the Senate — which confirms judicial nominees — and where Republicans hold a slim 51-49 edge.

Thai Youth Soccer Players Found Alive in Cave

Twelve soccer players between the ages of 11 and 16 and their coach entered a cave in Thailand more than a week ago, where they’ve been trapped by a flood ever since.

CNN reports, “Finally, after nine days, all 13 team members were found safe. But rescuing the 13 people may be a difficult task. It’s not clear if the rescuers will be able to drain the cave or divers will have to teach the boys how to dive to get them out.”

Until then, rescue members will send a doctor and nurse into the cave to check on the 13 team members, as well as figure out a way to get food to them. They are all in stable condition, according to reports.
